4. APPROVED CHANGE(S):

a. Brief Overview of Change: Army requires use of the purpose code in the DLMS 

947I Dual Inventory Adjustment for Supply Conditions Code Change (947I with 2/W1901/200 

Quantity Status Adjustment Reason Code AC–Condition Code Change). This will allow SCC 

changes for materiel identified or segregated by purpose code.

The Army requests this change for intra-Army use, primarily to facilitate maintaining stock with 

a purpose code identifier in Army Logistics Modernization Program (LMP), Global Combat 

Support System (GCSS), and in systems owned by third party vendors who do business with the 

Army. All other components may adopt this capability as a DLMS enhancement for intracomponent usage.

b. Background:

(1) Army LMP maintains inventory within GCSS Army and third party vendor 

systems. LMP stratifies this inventory by purpose code, ownership code, project code, condition 

code and owner RIC. 

(2) The purpose code is an important element used by LMP to maintain stock 

batches. DLMS transactions like 846R Location Reconciliation and some uses of the 947I

Inventory Adjustment – Increase or Decrease have established procedures that allow use of 

purpose code. There are no existing procedures to use the purpose code when the DLMS 

Implementation Convention (IC) 947I is a Dual Inventory Adjustment for Supply Conditions 

Code Change (947I with 2/W1901/200 Quantity Status Adjustment Reason Code AC –

Condition Code Change). LMP uses the DLMS 947I to change condition codes of inventory 

between LMP, as the inventory control point, and GCSS Army and third party vendors as the 

storage locations.

(3) LMP uses both ownership codes and purpose codes to create and maintain 

materiel batches and to identify the correct batch of materiel for which the condition code change 

is requested. ADC 1149 (Reference 3.b.) approved the use of the ownership code when the 

DLMS 947I is used for a dual inventory adjustment–Supply Condition Code change, but not the

usage of the purpose code. The purpose code is essential for LMP to properly stratify stock. 

c. Approved Change in Detail:

(1) Revise DLMS 947I Inventory Adjustment Implementation Convention and

authorize the use of purpose code in a dual inventory adjustment when changing the condition of 

an item (2/W1901/0200 code AC) segregated by purpose code. 

(2) Update DLMS note for 2/LQ01/1000–99 Purpose Code to enable the Army 

capability for SCC changes for materiel identified or segregated by purpose code. 

(3) This change will ensure that LMP can maintain, identify, and reconcile LMP 

stock identified with a purpose code. See the Enclosure.

(4) This change is an optional DLMS enhancement for non-Army systems.

d. Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals: None.

e. Approved Transaction Flow: There are no changes to the transaction flow. 

f. Alternatives: There are no alternatives. 

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: This change is required to support accountability of stock 

stratified by purpose code maintained at other storage locations and in trading partner systems.

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: Allowing the use of the purpose code with dual inventory adjustment 

(SCC) will help maintain, identify, and reconcile the stock stratified to a purpose code at LMP 

with third party vendor systems, making available an accurate accounting of Program-owned 

inventory along with inventory value.

b. Disadvantages: None.

7. ASSUMPTIONS USED OR WILL BE USED IN THE CHANGE OR NEW 

DEVELOPMENT:

a. Army LMP is already programmed to receive and transmit purpose code with the 

DLMS 947I Dual Inventory Adjustment for Supply Conditions Code Change (947I with 

2/W1901/200 Quantity Status Adjustment Code AC). The only update required should be 

DAAS mapping for the 947I.

b. This change does not affect the legacy Document Identifier Code DAC – Inventory 

Adjustment–Dual (Condition Transfer). The purpose code is not identified in a legacy DAC.

8. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS TO CONSIDER: None. 

9. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: None. 

10. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: June 2019

11. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: Not Applicable

12. IMPACT: 

a. New DLMS Data Elements: None.

b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: None.

c. Automated Information Systems (AIS): Update Army systems to allow the use of 

purpose code in DLMS 947I Dual Inventory Adjustment for Supply Condition Code Change 

(2/W1901/200, AC – Quantity Status Adjustment Reason Code).

d. Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS): Update DAAS maps per the 

updates identified in this change.

e. Non-DLM 4000.25 Series Publications: None.
